In this episode of Anatomy of a Song, I dive into the vocal identity of JYP Entertainment’s girl groups by listening closely to how their voices actually sit in the music once the production is stripped back.

Using a range of tracks across different eras, I compare moments from TWICE’s “Heartbreak Avenue,” Wonder Girls’ “Rewind,” NMIXX’s “Ocean,” miss A’s “Only You,” and ITZY’s “Imaginary Friend.”Each song reveals something different about how JYP approaches female vocals!

TWICE OH WE LOVE YOU

Honestly I just feel like the song selection for Nmixx and Wonder Girls wasn't rly the best. They're both ment to be really chill songs focused more on lyrics and production, and overall vibe. I feel like for Nmixx, Spinnin' On It, Beat Beat, Slingshot, Golden Recipe, or Papillon would've been great choices (as I've heard new harmonies and adlibs every time I listen to those songs). Idk Wonder Girls too well, but they definitely have a good chunk of vocally interesting songs, and same with Miss A

hi

for wonder girls I think you should check a song before 2015 .. since that's when their leader/main vocalist (Sunye) left the group to focus on her family since she was promoting while being pregnant ... maybe I'm biased cauz wonder girls were the group that got me into kpop but they have my personal favorite voices in sunye and yeeun(also known as ha:tfelt) .. they're very easy to listen to .. here's one of their duo performances you can check on your own if you have time https://youtu.be/oMRoOgT_Epk?si=FdLf_eOxteyacxuO also eventho wonder girls went through multiple lineup changes , all the members are still extremely close and still on very good terms with jyp .. so they do still go on shows and perform together whenever they can.

Yess I did SAY I don't know them well but didnt want to pick the most obvious songs that didn't sound harmonically strong either so please do suggest songs for them also. Spinnin on would've been good for nmixx tho

Twice’s when we were kids would’ve been amazing But love it anyway !

For wonder girls you should def check out ‘gone’ on there reboot album. For Miss A maybe ‘hush’ or ‘one step’? There’s harmonies but idk if they’re really out there with them. Same goes for ‘gone’.

I will be so upset if they don’t do something official for their 20th anniversary. They keep having mini-reunions/hangouts with different permutations of a few different members at a time, but I want something with whatever they want to consider a “full band lineup,” even if it’s not the whole 7/6-members through all the lineup changes.

if you decide to do NMIXX again, papillon would be a really good choice for this

Every time my girls (TWICE) are mentioned I appear out of thin air and I’m sat😂 heartbreak avenue had me and has me in a chokehold lol it’s cool how you are able to only listen to their vocals alone. I’m always learning from you!! Love your vids!!

For Wonder Girls I’d suggest maybe checking out “Do Go Do Go” or “Dear Boy” if you want to hear what I believe to be some of the best vocals in kpop period. However, that’s mostly my bias talking. They are still my top kpop girl group despite them not being active anymore.
